Stainless Steel Main Shifter Cable Bushing Kit for Saturn S-series Manual Transmissions Proudly Made in America! Saturn’s original rubbery plastic shifter bushing and the identical replacement that comes with new shifter cables work fine until they age and become brittle. Then without warning they typically crack and leave you unable to shift, possibly compromising your safety while merging into fast-moving traffic, or maybe just leaving you stranded at some unsafe location. To permanently eliminate this risk of becoming suddenly shiftless, the improved replacement bushing in this kit is made of stainless steel [design’s CAD drawing copyright 2004 by JCB], not of molded plastic which becomes brittle over time and puts you again at risk of losing shifter function. For the sport driver, or for anyone who simply wants bullet-proof durability, stainless steel is the ultimate solution. Each kit consists of a lifetime-warrantied precision CNC-machined and individually hand-polished stainless steel bushing, fitted guide washers, a removable E-clip, Teflon powder with an applicator, and free email and phone support. A detailed easy-to-follow installation guide is shown below. This stainless bushing is designed to be permanently « cold-welded » in place with JB-Weld adhesive [not included–available locally from most hardware, auto supply, and home supply stores. Please see www.jbweld.net to learn more about this amazing adhesive!]. An E-clip permits easy future cable or shifter disassembly, should that ever be required. Guide washers provide additional lateral support to reduce cable bowing during 1-2 and 3-4 shifts while protecting the cable end-loop from rubbing against the lower end of the shift lever. The included powdered Teflon dry lubricant reduces friction during shifting as well as minimizing end loop wear. This carefully engineered upgrade is guaranteed to fit all 1991 Saturn S-series [SL, SW, SC] with manual transmission. [Does not fit later Saturn Vue or L-series.] More than three thousand Saturn owners of all levels of mechanical experience and inexperience have already successfully installed one of these stainless bushings. Check my feedback for some of their comments. Also, see www.saturnshifterbushing.blogspot.com for additional background information. For a less expensive option that’s even quicker and easier to install, please see my other auctions for a lifetime-warrantied shifter bushing precision-machined from Delrin. [Well over five thousand of those have also been installed.] Purchases are generally shipped the same day if PayPal checkout is completed before 3pm EST weekdays or 2pm Saturday. While eBay’s overly-optimistic « on or before » estimates are misleading, USPS does complete delivery of most First Class parcels within their publicized norm of 3 to 5 days after shipment. However, USPS continues to misroute about 1 in 50 shipments, and on rare occasions delivery has taken a month or more. Priority Mail is recommended because it consistently arrives in 2-3 days. USPS promises domestic Express Mail delivery in one, two, or three days depending on locations’ dispatch times. Express Mail’s default signature requirement, which helps protect against delivery errors, can be waived if requested in a Note to Seller during checkout. International Priority is typically delivered 3 to 5 days after being cleared by your Customs. NOTE: After you have installed your permanent fail-proof stainless steel shifter bushing, please be aware that the plastic end-loop molded onto the cable end shaft, which usually outlasts Saturn’s original bushing, is known to separate from that shaft when it reaches the normal end of its service life. A heftier clamp-on fail-proof replacement end-loop machined from self-lubricating moly-impregnated nylon is now available. Please see my Shifter Cable Replacement End Loop auction for more information. Thank you! Jerry CABLE END LOOP FAILURE MYTH Some have suggested that installing a fail-proof shifter bushing can cause the cable’s end loop to become separated from its shaft in the months that follow. While that is not true, here is why it might seem to be: It is well-documented that the most common failure with Saturn’s M/T shifting system is fracture of the main shifter cable bushing. However, Saturn mechanics do occasionally see an end loop separated from its shaft while still held to the shifter by an intact OEM bushing. This shows that the end loop’s attachment to its shaft has its own limited service life, although in most Saturns that limit is longer than that of the shifter bushing, which typically fails first. GM’s « remedy » of repairing bushing failure by installing new shifter cables also renews the service life of the molded cable end loop. As a result, end loop separation seldom occurs in dealer-maintained Saturns. In contrast, when a fractured bushing is repaired by installing only a new bushing, the existing cables and end loop continue to remain in use. Whenever the end loop may later separate, it does so only because the end loop has been allowed to reach the normal end of its service life. Stainless Steel Shifter Bushing Installation Guide The JB-Weld adhesive you will need is their part number 8265, 8265S, or 8280. [Note: Their similar product called JB-Qwik is not suitable for this application.] A 1″ C-clamp is the simplest way to secure the bushing while the JB-Weld cures, but a Quick-Grip clamp or Channel-Locks with stout rubber bands on the handles will also work. Please read through the instructions first to be sure you have everything on hand because the installation becomes time-sensitive once the JB-Weld adhesive is mixed. [If you’ve already removed your console to see why your shifter has gone limp, half your job is done!] 1. Disconnect the battery ground cable to protect against accidentally shorting any air-bag components under the console. 2. Remove the center console shell. 3. Remove any remains of the factory plastic bushing from the larger shift cable end, taking care not to stress, scratch, or crack the cable-end loop. [A replacement end-loop is now available—see note above] 4. Use towels or rags to cover the plastic air duct and carpet on both sides of the shifter. Otherwise a dropped washer or E-clip will instantly disappear. [Guess how I know this!] Do not join those who regret skipping this step ‘the first time.’ 5. Clean and degrease the base and ball of the ball-end stub shaft at the bottom of the shifter, using a paper towel moistened with lacquer thinner or nail polish remover. 6. Permanently mount the stainless steel replacement bushing over the ball-end shaft on the shifter with JB-Weld adhesive, cardpack #8265S [do not use JB-Qwik], available at most hardware, automotive, and home supply stores for about $4. Thoroughly mix together equal pea-size quantities from each JB-Weld tube. Dab a ring of mixed adhesive around the widest bulge [‘equator’] of the ball-end and dab another ring around the base of the stub shaft. Use a small C-clamp to fully seat and hold the bushing while the JB-Weld sets up. Do not allow more than 15 minutes to pass between mixing the JB-Weld and securing the bushing with a C-clamp, because the bond strength is severely weakened if the JB-Weld’s curing chemistry begins before everything is clamped in place. [Even those experienced using JB-Weld are not always aware of this.] Clean off any adhesive that may have oozed out or gotten onto the polished surface of the bushing. A paper towel or cotton swab lightly dampened with lacquer thinner or nail polish remover is very effective. Allow to fully cure overnight while you celebrate your progress! [In winter climates you will need to warm the assembly so the JB-Weld will cure. A traditional automotive caged incandescent worklight placed near the clamped bushing will warm things safely.] 7. After the adhesive has cured, install the flat-edged inner nylon guide washer [rotate so it lies flat at the base of the bushing], then use the included cotton swab to dab a little Teflon powder inside the cable-end loop and around the polished surface of the bushing. Fit the cable-end loop and then the outer nylon guide washer onto the bushing and secure by squeezing the E-clip into its groove. [Channel-locks make good E-clip squeezers, but shroud the area as much as possible in case a partially sprung E-clip escapes and launches itself in some unknown direction. One installer cleverly suggested keeping the E-clip captive by gripping it with needle-nose pliers while Channel-Locks squeeze it into its groove.] After verifying proper shifter function, reinstall the center console and, lastly, reconnect the battery ground cable. Photos of steps 6 and 7 can be viewed at www.saturnfans.com/photos/showgallery.php/cat/500/ppuser/12384 NOTE: The 5/8” E-clip is a standard hardware item which is usually available locally in case you skipped step 4 above, or in case your E-clip launched itself to regions unknown. If disassembly should ever be required, the shifter cable end loop and guide washer assembly is easily removed after simply prying the E-clip from its groove. [Again, refer to step 4 above and additionally shroud surrounding area as much as possible to capture a self-launched E-clip.] Copyright 2012 by JCB After purchasing, pay instantly with your credit card through PayPal!
